    Mono AAC file displayed as stereo in info window

    Just a cosmetic problem really, but in both the window you get when you mouse-over a file, and the right-click, properties-audio properties window like this one:

    Disc 1/1

    both say mono AAC files are stereo. I'm sure it doesn't do the same with MP3s. Would be nice/helpful if this was fixed, just to avoid any confusion.

    (NB I did listen to make sure that this file really was mono! For readers benefit, the bit rate gives it away too - this was using Q 0.6)

    Edit: in case it makes a difference - XP SP 2, 13.1 Reference.
